Tessa Blanchard made a shocking return to TNA at Final Resolution 2024, and while the moment itself had fans talking, the aftermath is fueling even bigger rumors about her future in wrestling.
According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Radio Blanchard’s reappearance might be part of a calculated move to pave the way for her eventual debut in WWE.
“It’s a really weird story,” Meltzer explained. “It could be a favor for WWE. The idea is that if she’s in TNA for a while, and there is no big backlash or anything, they could bring her into WWE because there are women in WWE that want to work with her. There may be some that don’t, but I know there are some that do.”
Blanchard’s controversial past—including allegations of bullying and racial slurs—has made her a polarizing figure in wrestling. While she’s denied the accusations, the controversy stalled her career, making her return to TNA both a fresh start and a litmus test for her reputation in the industry. Meltzer’s comments suggest that her time in TNA might not just be about reclaiming her position in the Knockouts division, but about showing the wrestling world—and WWE—that she can be a valuable and drama-free asset.
Behind the scenes, there’s reportedly interest from some WWE stars to work with Blanchard, even though her polarizing reputation might leave others hesitant. If her stint in TNA goes smoothly, it could be the perfect segue to a high-profile WWE debut. For Blanchard, this return might be about more than just reclaiming her spot in TNA—it could be her ticket to the biggest wrestling stage of all.
Blanchard’s return to TNA at Final Resolution already shifted the dynamics of the Knockouts division, with her ambush on Jordynne Grace reigniting their rivalry. But now, all eyes are on whether her performance and behavior in TNA will lead to a much bigger opportunity down the line.
